The NFL swallows so much oxygen that it’s difficult for pro spring leagues to stick around. If any of them have a chance, it’s the latest iteration of the XFL, which is led by Dwayne Johnson.
Promising as it is, it takes time to build up any sports league and this past year they reportedly lost $60 million. Johnson still believes it can be a success, though and he’s not the only one. Over the weekend, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner tweeted that he wants to be part of the XFL and tagged The Rock in it.
Would love to be apart of this! And I’m number 54 again so it just makes sense! @TheRock https://t.co/E0irCogPNG

We’re assuming Wagner means as an investor rather than a linebacker. While he’s not in Johnson’s league financially, Wagner has made over $96 million in his NFL career so far.
